Is this name too random?

[*starz*]

I like it.

And i read the name as you would want it pronounced.

[Nelle]

I like Castian - the only reason I like Caspian better is because I love the Chronicles of Narnia, and think they're a really great thing to be named after - if you've never read them, definitely have a read, it might sell you on Caspian.

I also like Rilian and Tirian from Narnia too. If you like the name, go for it.

[LimeSlice]

Im not sure on Castian.
Love Caspian...

Castian would probably grow on me, but it does sound made up

[alioops]

Some of the most common words and names were made up. Bubble was made up by Shakespeare. So really if you like it then use it!!

I immediately thought of the pronounciation how you explained it, and I honestly don't think it as bad as some (Brangelina or Apple anyone?). It does sound like a name, rather than a word so I think it is fine.

I think i have heard of castian before??? not sure were. maybe it was just similar.

Don't worry about kids teasing DH went to school with a cuneyt (said as jen-ate) but they tears his height not him name, kids are crule and they don't need a name to trigger it.

might google castian.

what middle Name?????

[kristy J]

just had a quick look and there a few people named castian! both first and last names.

the more i say it the more i like it.

[JellyBean]

Thanks Kristy J- I too have come across a few Castians via google. Bastian is quite a common name in the US (thanks to the boy from Never Ending Story), so its only 1 letter different to that!
If DH permits, I would like the middle name Myles, so
Castian Myles perhaps?

PS- I see you have sons named Caleb & Sebastian - I like your taste!

[YoYo]

I prefer Caspian to Castian but hey...your choice! I do love Sebastian though!

[Visitor8]

I don't like it. Sounds too made up to me. Sorry!

Aponi, I like Drake... that's my nephews name!

I really like uncommon names, I have Jaidan (wasn't common at the time ), Chase Blaze and Ashton so all uncommon. I also have Jaxson and Levi for other kids picked out already lol

[[M]umma[M]ia]

its different, not too bad.

[Rouge]

Its actually not a made up name LOL! But I've always seen it as Castien and often as a last name

I think if you like it go with it... So much better than bizarre spellings IMO.

[Mumtobe123]

I dont love it to be honest. I think both Casper and Sebastian are nice though. And I REALLy like Bastion. Bas is a cute nickname too.

[*Ang*]

Not a big fan either, sorry. Sounds a bit too made up to me but at the end of the day it is yours and your DH's choice.

[krysalyss]

I don't love it because for some reason it brings up a vision of castaway or cast out. But Caspian is nice. Quite a romantic name. But you know lots of people dont like my DS's name so each to their own.

[*Ash*]

Castian reminds me of 'castanet'. I don't really like it, but it doesn't offend me either.
I do prefer Caspian though.
But, I really like Sebastian. Love the nn Seb and Bas. I also like Casper/Caspar.

[ShareBear]

Well it's going to get pronounced 'Cast-tian' (with the 'cat' sounds, not 'cast') by the majority of people so....it's nice! (honestly, the long 'ar' sound makes it sound a bit snobby and pole-up-bum)

For those that have suggested it, I think Casper is a LOVELY name but the poor kid would SO get called 'Casper The Friendly Ghost' for his entire schooling life (at least)
